2 June Movement

The 2 June Movement, known as Bewegung Zweiter Juni in German, was an anarchist group active in West Germany from 1971 to 1980 under Fritz Teufel's leadership. The group was one of the few violent groups in West Germany at the time, and it allied with the Red Army Faction during the struggle against the capitalist regime. It was best known for its 1975 kidnapping of West Berlin mayoral candidate Peter Lorenz of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany, but the group did not receive as much attention as its Marxist counterparts, and the group dissolved in 1980.
